"Speaking of Skills"
 
   Has anybody out there played Rocksmith? I have a guitar I can't play and a PC; it seems like this might be worth a shot, but if I took the manufacturers' word for it, I'd have every single product I had ever encountered that I had enough money for at the time, so... :)

My nephew has, actually, but I can't drag him down to pick his brain right now on account of he just broke his arm about three days ago. Some jerkwad his brother brought along to help load scrap was driving and texting at the same time. ...While hauling a trailer full of scrap.

Yeah. Doubt we'll be seeing him again anytime soon (the idiot, not my nephew(s)).


Edited because I forgot how the forum parses HTML.

Hope your nephew mends quickly.

   Here's hoping. Not being able to wield his axe is the main thing nephew's down about.

The jackass got out with no injuries; there is no justice.

   If you were the litigious sort, I'm sure you could press charges/sue. That might be a little extreme, but then it might not.

He was 15, so I doubt we could make it stick, unfortunately.

There may or may not be a righteous asskicking in his future, though, once my nephew heals. I quote: 'If I ever catch that sonofabitch, I'm gonna cut off his **** and shove it up his ass.'

I've played it a bit, but a buddy of mine has gone from "can kinda strum a little bit" to "I can make it make sounds that sound like someone playing guitar badly" in about three months of who knows how often play. One of the things I found interesting were the arcade games, which are kinda like those old typing games, but for guitar, which allows you to practice individual skills (plucking a string, moving up a fret, etc) that would be monotonously boring and turning them into fun little games.

On the other hand, Ubisoft couldn't be arsed to do enough work to have female characters in the new AC game, so I can't be arsed to do enough work to pay them any money.
